Recapping a bit of news from a couple of days ago, the official Shining series figure blog Shine na Blog posted with unpainted prototype shots of a new Shining WindBlanc Neige figure coming from Kotobukiya. Little is revealed in the entry text (no news as to a release window, price or sculptor information) but it is mentioned that her cape is removable.

President Japan‘s Eye Ball blog brings news of the second recently announced Shining Wind figure, a new rendition of Kureha. The color prototype is pictured before final detailed color tuning, but provides a rough look of what to expect from the final version; again virtually no information regarding the sculptor, price, or release date is provided, though it is noted that her skirt is castoffable. We’ll be keeping an eye out for further information on both figures in the coming weeks. Images below:

both look nice, but the Koto Neige is more interesting to me as there are no figures of her in the Tears X Wind outfit yet, and I really like that look.

Also, I think I saw somewhere that the Eyescream Shining Wind figures are going to be 8190yen ea, at 1/8 Scale. I suppose that could change or even that I’m remembering wrong, but I was pretty stunned by that 8190yen, so I don’t think so. Oh, and there is no way in hell that that Kureha is worth that much(even though it is nice).
